has no right to judge him as the constitution gave him immunity from the prosecution
It does? Which constitution? Which clause? Produce it.

If you mean the American Constitution, then the Nuremberg Trials were illegitimate. Is it your argument that the Nazis should have walked?

It's so easy to portray Saddam according to the wishes of American public when ONLY American media was allowed in the courtroom.
WRONG.
CNN and the Arabic TV station al-Jazeera were the only two TV stations to be allowed into the court room

Why the president who gave the order of using orange agent in Vietnam was never put on trial?
Agent orange at that time was understood to be a defoliant. Not a war gas. It was not until later that its ill effects were seen. Even then, it was hardly as toxic in its effects as the weakest war gases. Your argument means almost every farmer in the modern world should be tried for using pesticides.

Why the real number of victims from both Vietnam population and American soldiers were never published?
Oh, but numbers HAVE been. However, it seems the Viet Cong and N. Vietnamese weren't particularly keeping count. WTH, it's just more meat.

9/11 served better Israel and the criminals in the white crime house than anybody else.
Even if that statement is true, so what? You could make the same charge about WW2. You think Britain and France went to war against Germany for the Jews?

The sad part is that the population of the US is mostly blinded
Yeah, we know, you know everything and we are just poor ignorant peasants.

otherwise every cocaine and crack cocaine addict would have the case in the court against administrations who really never served the general public.
Are you making sense?

Is it legal to portray somebody as guilty before the trial even started?
Yes. Newspapers do it all the time. Do you claim the right to tell them what they may and may not print?

The latest verdict of the Supreme Court at least is saving whatever is left from the prestige of the country whose citizens are hiding their nationality when travelling
Who is? I've been abroad twice in the last year and made no attempt to hide the fact that I'm an American. I also met other Americans- -lots of them- -who weren't. The fact that you might be ashamed of your people hardly means you should project that onto everyone.

And what Supreme COurt verdict are you referring to? Produce it.
